This is basically a meatloaf made with ground pork and ham, served on a bed of baby spinach, with an egg on top. The loaf itself can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or in the microwave oven. Because there is ham in this, the loaf will look a little pink, but you will know it's done if your instant read thermometer reaches 160 degrees F. From Better Homes and Gardens. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1/3 cup apple cider |
2/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats |
1/3 cup green onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
12 ounces ground pork |
12 ounces ground cooked ham |
1 tablespoon oil |
8 eggs |
2 tablespoons oil |
2 (6 ounce) packages fresh baby spinach |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
milk, optional to thin sauce |
fresh dill |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cider; stir in oats, green onions, mustard, poultry seasoning, and pepper.
3. Add pork and ham and mix well; lightly pat mixture into a loaf pan.
4. Bake to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours; let sit 10 minutes and spoon off any accumulated fat.
5. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
6. Break 4 eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper; reduce heat to low, cover and cook until whites are set and yolks begin to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes.
7. Repeat with remaining 4 eggs; remove from skillet and keep warm.
8. Wipe out skillet and cook the spinach, in two batches, in oil just until wilted; remove from pan.
9. To make the dill sauce, in a small saucepan, over medium low heat, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard; cook, while stirring, until hot (thin with milk if needed).
10. To serve, place some spinach on the plate, top with a meatloaf slice, and an egg; top with dill sauce and fresh dill.
